HARTFORD — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will quickly sign the sweeping gun control law that is expected to be adopted Wednesday, while a firearm lobbyist predicted it will be challenged in court and gun manufacturers continue to weigh their options to move away.
The owner of Stag Arms, Mark Malkowski, said he has had numerous, lucrative offers to relocate to gun-friendly states that he is more seriously considering, particularly if his brand is hurt by passage of the law.
The same analysis was repeated by Jonathan Scalise, president and owner of Ammunition Storage Components.
Both sides on the gun debate are expected to be back at the Capitol for the vote, to again make themselves visible with the National Shooting Sports Foundation arranging bus shuttles from Cabela’s in East Hartford and advising them to tell their legislators how they will vote when they are up for re-election.
“This is a good moment,” Malloy said of the sweeping gun control legislation that bans at least an additional 100 assault weapons, mandates universal background checks, bans magazines with more than 10 rounds and restricts use of currently owned larger magazines.
It requires eligibility certificates for long guns, raises the purchase age for centerfold rifles from 18 to 21 and puts in place the first statewide dangerous offender list, among other things.
The governor, who had been critical of the amount of time it was taking lawmakers to adopt new rules and argued forcefully for a ban on possession of large magazines - which he failed to get - had nothing but praise Tuesday for the leaders who put the deal together.
“It’s something to be proud of,” Malloy said. He called it “far reaching (and) arguably the most comprehensive in the country.”

Let’s just say Gov. Malloy is USING the dead little children for his political gain.
Look for more moving vans to do a much heavy steady business.
It wasn’t just demonrats. There were plenty of spineless repukelicans that pushed it and voted for it.

I imagine that was Hitler's sentiment in 1938.
Note to conservatives living in CN - DON'T OBEY these unconstitutional laws.
Next they will have a vote on goose stepping and brown shirt parties. Maybe have a parade with some old hammer amd sickle flags. Really, those who cannot stand this commie crap just leave and let the state go down the toilet.
There are Republicans in CT? Who knew?
Move to Texas!!!!
But can the centerfold rifles be shipped discretely in plain brown packaging?
